Hi.
So, that is it, in short. What would need to be done to make this happen? There are some minor things I noticed during my rawhide install (resolution detection, sound card detection...), some support for laptops is missing (pbbuttons is frowned upon), but all in all I think things are looking quite well.
How are the chances for it?

Speaking of support for architectures, I was wondering about Extras and x86_64. The fedora.us site only hosts i386 packages. Justin Forbes has a x86_64 Extras repository for FC2, but it's signed with his own key and looks pretty stale at the moment (Justin recently switched jobs).
With Extras still in limbo, I am not sure what to expect. Who and where will build and sign Extras for x86_64? Red Hat? Or someone else? And what is the plan if, say, PPC becomes a supported architecture?
Then there's the more practical issue of when packages for FC3 will begin to appear in Extras, regardless of the architecture. That was debated a few days ago, but I don't think any conclusion was reached.

Not exactly frowned upon, but more important wins first. Like fixing autopartitioning.

Basically depends on enough spare tuits.
I'd like to get a polished FC3 tree out in the next few weeks. I'll mail for testing/feedback/bug hunting on fedora-ppc some time next week.

I have a kernel which actually boots on G5 and which can suspend/resume on PowerBook G4, neither of which are true of the real FC3 ppc64/ppc kernels. We should probably include that in any FC3/ppc tree we make.
